How can you say Toy Story 3 is "tripe".

I agree with you that it's not tripe. But it's not that good. The only truly imaginative part of the whole film was when Mr. Potato Head used a tortilla to support his limbs and facial parts during the breakout sequence. The rest of the movie was just really competent, paint-by-numbers stuff. Most of the elements from the third film were already explored in the previous two, and it's just hard to make lightning strike the same place twice, let alone three times. It was a good film, but it lacked the magic of the first two.
Also, see How to Train Your Dragon. It was robbed.

Computer Animation
Cartoon

Agreed.
There are something like 8 or 9 distinctions in terms of traditional animation, cgi assisted animation, anime, stylized 3d and photorealistic 3d. By calling toy story a "cartoon" you would have to lump Avatar in the cartoon slot as well.

Meh . . . I'm with Mikezilla here. Y'all are talking about a distinction without a difference. It's a pointless semantics discussion. We all know what we're talking about when we say cartoon. Nobody questions whether to lump Pixar films in with other animations or with live action or something. But suffice it to say that if it is eligible to win the Best Animation trophy (obviously Avatar cannot) it is, for all intents and purposes, a cartoon.
By the way, Beauty and the Beast, a hand-drawn animation, was also nominated for Best Picture.

Thank you Shmokes. :cheers: Besides, these are nominations we are talking about. No "cartoon" has ever won the coveted best picture award anyway.

I supposed Im bias because I loved the other ones, and they were great sequels, but they truly gave the story closure, and I thought it was really sad. I wasnt looking at it as a film on its own, but the conclusion of a story about characters that are loveable even though they are only computer generated graphics with human voices. See, and hear I thought the tortilla part was kinda lame but whatever. I really liked how they did the ending, and thats how life is regarding saying goodbye, and things changing etc. Seems like a movie everyone can relate to.
Is it on DVD yet? Ill rent it if it is.
shmokes:
Yep, released for DVD a couple months ago.

Go watch some actual footage of that king's speech before you believe any BS movies about his debilitating stutter.

Well, that speech IS after he's had therapy. It wouldn't be very impressive if he hadn't been 'cured' at all...
